An upgrade. From a 9.6 to a prettier 9.6.

Welcome back, Paul. Real beauties there.

That is a beauty, Chris. If it gets a 9.6 from CGC, it would be the first. Nothing to do with your book, but if those are supposed to be Galactus' hands on the cover, what happened to his gloves? And why is his skin green? (Artistic license, I know.)

VueScan from: https://www.hamrick.com It works with just about any scanner. And PCs or Macs. And wow, the beauties just keep coming.

Those are all sorts of beautiful, Shel. And some very tough books there too.

Two new arrivals. Traded away a FF #128 9.8 and got back a #126 in return. But had to pick up another #128 before I pulled the trigger.

I think this the 6th or 7th Millie #194 I've rolled the dice on. It'll need to make a stop at Joey's before heading to CGC.

Great books, Paul. Two for two.

Holy freaking guacamole, Joe. That is a killer book.

I'm seeing double. But sweet books, gentlemen!

Two for two, Joe

Nice, Paul! I think that's called a "win-win". Well, sort of, anyway.

Sold. Sold. And closed.

Well, Romita did ink Andru on Issue 125 and 151, both looked great IMHO. I would have loved to see Palmer give it a shot as well. I didn't remember that. And yup, they do look great.

Tom Palmer inks might have been interesting to see. Or Romita, of course. Either would have added a bit more depth to Andru's pencils. Though I forgot how great this splash page was, even with the Esposito inks:

I somehow just noticed this thread now. Lots of great stuff. Like some other folks here, I grew ups reading Andru-drawn Spideys. Seeing some of Andru's un-inked pencils makes me wish somebody else did the inking. The finished product often seemed kind of rough to me.
